Bug Description

[needs-packaging] gtkevemon

gtkevemon is an open source clone of the tool used by players of the popular "eve online" game. It is now the only app I have to install from source on a new installation of Ubuntu.

I've used it for 6 months, and it is stable and well behaved, infact I have already submitted an icon and .desktop file to the maintainer.

I think it should be included since the "1.2" version of Wine included in 9.10 will run eve online flawlessly, and evemon is one of the reasons not to use Linux for that.

License: GPL
Notes: building depends on g++, libgtkmm-dev & libxml2-dev. I have to recommend going with the CVS as packaged versions don't seem to be a priority for this developer, and I have been testing various CVS versions for months and have yet to find a bug. Also tested on Karmic Alpha5 & Alpha6.

FYI there is a PPA with gtkevemon builds
https://launchpad.net/~gtkevemon-admins/+archive/ppa

The builds seem to be outdated though. Lack of packages for Raring is disappointing as well.

I'm (one of) the maintainers of that ppa. I don't play EVE anymore, and somehow dropped off the notification list for new gtkevemon builds.

I'll try to get an updated package uploaded this weekend.

The latest snapshot has been packaged and submitted to the PPA, it should build and be available later today, for both Quantal and Raring.
